Diana Boggia has a masters degree in education with licensure in preschool, elementary and special education. She taught children with multiple disabilities for 15 years and has been working with parents (families) with behavioral concerns for more than 23 years. She develops individualized strategies to build self esteem and diminish negative, attention-seeking behaviors for each child to be successful in achieving remarkable results. Throughout her work with parents Diana has developed a program that includes hands-on materials encompassing limit-setting, developing structure with schedules, teaching time management, increasing listening skills and parenting with incentives, rather than threats. These successful strategies have changed the dynamics of many families who were struggling with their child¹s behaviors.

I just love the saying that raising a family is like baking a cake from scratch… it can get real messy! There are many important ingredients which help to develop a strong, thoughtful, resilient, confident child. Sometimes parents loose sight of what is important, or how just how powerful a word of encouragement can be. Sometimes parents forget that children are children, or that they need continuous guidance, not another friend. Parenting is tough. It’s challenging and exhausting. It’s a full time job which lasts for years. Parents need support, encouragement and guidance, just as their children do. That’s why I created a very special family recipe to share with you.
